Rootcaused the bug to a deadlock in cpufreq and ondemand. Due to non-existent
ordering between cpu_hotplug lock and dbs_mutex. Basically a race condition
between cpu_down() and do_dbs_timer().
cpu_down() flow:
* cpu_down() call for CPU 1
* Takes hot plug lock
* Calls pre down notifier
* cpufreq notifier handler calls cpufreq_driver_target() which takes
cpu_hotplug lock again. OK as cpu_hotplug lock is recursive in same
process context
* CPU 1 goes down
* Calls post down notifier
* cpufreq notifier handler calls ondemand event stop which takes dbs_mutex
So, cpu_hotplug lock is taken before dbs_mutex in this flow.
do_dbs_timer is triggerred by a periodic timer event.
It first takes dbs_mutex and then takes cpu_hotplug lock in
cpufreq_driver_target().
Note the reverse order here compared to above. So, if this timer event happens
at right moment during cpu_down, system will deadlok.
Attached patch fixes the issue for both ondemand and conservative.
